Procedure Overview

The atherectomy procedure involves the precise removal or modification of obstructions within the affected veins, improving blood flow and relieving discomfort.

  • Preparation

    Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. This numbs the treatment area where the incision will be made.

  • Access

    A small incision is made near the site of the vein obstruction, granting access to the affected vein.

  • Atherectomy

    Specialized catheters and devices are employed to reach and treat the affected vein. Any obstructions are safely modified or removed.

  • Completion

    Once the treatment is completed, the device is removed, and the incision is closed.

FAQs

Patients typically receive local anesthesia at the treatment site, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Most patients can return to their normal activities relatively quickly. You may be encouraged to walk or engage in light activities within a day or two after the procedure.

The need for multiple atherectomy sessions depends on the extent of the arterial blockage and your overall vascular health. Some patients experience relief with a single procedure, while others may require additional treatments to ensure optimal results.
